A Duke of Athens, Theseus, is to marry, Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazon. while preparing, Lysander and Demetrius meet a girl named Hermia who they both fall madly in love with, her father however gives her permission to marry Demetrius yet she loves Lysander. This eventually turns into a huge love triangle.

Exposition

Hippolyta, I woo'd thee with my sword,And won thy love doing thee injuries;But I will wed thee in another key,With pomp, with triumph, and with revelling. (1.1.18)

Hermia and Lysander run away together, she tells Helena who loves Demetrius before they do. Helena then tells Demetrius who loves Hermia, all of them end up i n the woods after the people they love.

Conflict

And in the wood where often you and I upon faint primrose beds were wont to lie, emptying our bosoms of their counsel there my Lysander and myself shall meet, and thence from Athens turn away our eyes to seek new friends and farewell sweet playfellow (1.1.219)

Robin Goodfellow , a fairy, is sent into the woods to try to fix the mess and while doing so makes Lysander fall in love with Helena, as well as Demetrius. Now no one loves Hermia and she is depressed.
